You're darn right, hobbits don't need atkins! ;) I LOVE that button...so much so that I'm almost afraid to wear it for fear of losing it!

I have two piercings in each ear also, but I think I was about 12 before I got any piercings...and when I did, they pierced my ears at the same time! I got the second holes later.

I have two cats as well...had three until a couple weeks ago when one disappeared. We think she climbed into the back of a truck and they drove away. *sad* (I inherited them...they're actually Wade's cats...)
